Product Description

The 6-axle truck crane is rated 500 tonnes at 3 metres radius. It has a very short 2-section base boom from 13.35 to 22.35 metres with three hydraulic derrick cylinders. The boom can be further extended with a 13.1-metre extension boom section.

The cranes have two different attachment – a 14 metres Super Top Jib that is offset-table at 8 and 30 degrees and a Heavylift Jib spanning from 18 to 72 metres in length. The Super Top Jib is rated 200 ton at 7 metres radius when offset at 8 degrees. While the Heavylift Jib can be offset from 10 to 60 degrees and has a maximum lifting height of 126 metres. The 500-ton truck crane comes with three different counterweight configuration – 185 tonnes, 130 tonnes and 75 tonnes.

NK5000’s superstructure is powered by Nissan Diesel V8 water-cooled 4-cycle diesel RE804 engine while the carrier uses a Nissan Diesel V10 water-cooled 4-cycle diesel RH10 diesel engine on a Nissan Diesel KC-KL630YN chassis.

Kato has stopped the production for such large capacity hydraulic truck cranes for the market, but it is still popular among countries in Asia region.
